At Mercury, the Ohio Players enjoyed their greatest success; not only did their sound coalesce, but they became notorious for their sexually provocative LP covers, a tradition begun during their Westbound tenure.
Objects float when the volume of water they displace is less than the volume of the objects themselves. When objects sink, the volume of water they displace is greater than the volume of the object. The principle may seem relatively simple: Light objects float and heavy objects sink.
When an object floats, the upward buoyant force exerted by the water is greater than the downward force of the weight of the object. You can also understand this concept with numbers. If an objectâs density is less than waterâs density (1 g/cmÂ³), it will float. When an object sinks, the weight of the object is greater than the upward buoyant force exerted by the water and its density is greater than 1 g/cmÂ³.
